Resume
To all Food Industry Executives/ Sport Supplement
and Equipment/Clothing Manufacturers:
Here is my resume for review. I have over ten plus years of sales
and food industry experience and knowledge. I am well grounded in
the sales and distribution of a wide array of food products. Over
the years, I have had the opportunity to work very closely with
the vast majority of major retail giants. This experience would
prove invaluable in maintaining and or developing new business.
I welcome the opportunity to explore all options within the health
and fitness industry. I am available to discuss new ventures at
this time.
Sincerely,
Tom Pia
